Green Bay Packers

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Donald Driver, showing off his Super Bowl ring in 2011, announced Thursday he will retire. He has played for just one team since being drafted in 1999.
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Donald Driver talks about his Super Bowl ring at the team's ring ceremony June 16. The Super Bowl XLV champion ring is hefty, made of platinum and gold, with 3.35 carats of diamonds, the G logo on top, Lombardi Trophy on one side and Lambeau Field on the other.

Wide receiver Donald Driver, at peace with the reality that the Packers weren't going to re-sign him after 14 seasons and unwilling to put on another team's uniform, announced his retirement Thursday. »Read Full Article

Donald has been an exceptional athlete and an exceptional man. He is a role model for current athletes and for children. He may not be on the field, but I hope that he has a place in the Packer organization for as long as he wants one. He's got a lot to give.

This guy is amazing! He is the epitomy of what a great NFL football player/star should be! We have been so fortunate to have DD with the Green Bay Packers for so long..and we have loved him from day one. A Class act retiring from an amazing football team, fans who love him, (without any drama that have put so many player's careers in jeopardy.) Hope we can keep DD in the Packer's organization forever. He is truly an example of style, class, and professionalism that is so needed today. Great guy and he can dance too! Love ya DD.

In this era of celebrity, tabloid fodder (Manti T'eo, Lance Armstrong, Randy Moss, etc.)athletes, DD was one of a kind that is rapidly fading from the professional sports scene - simply a guy that loved the game for what it was/is - a game. And, unlike Brett Favre, knew when to call it a day by leaving on top and not on the way down. He certainly could have good somewhere else for a few million, but why? And, his career-long loyalty to one organization is definitely a thing of the past yet something to be admired. I would enjoy seeing DD on one of the networks play-by-play desks in front of a camera. Now that the latest Dan Marino scandal has unfolded, there just be an open spot there for DD! Thanks, Donald, for your years in GB; you will be missed.

Thank you for so many years of great football. Thank you for being a role model for not only our children, but for human beings in general. You are a class act. Enjoy your retirement and whatever you choose to do in the future.
